Network Statistics

The Network Statistics tab displays the network resources used by our application. Let's create a simple example to test this tool. Create a new project and add the following permissions in your manifest file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

In the main layout, add a button named, for example, Start Network Connection. Create a new method to be executed when the button is clicked and add the following code:

public void startNetworkConnection(View v){
  new Thread(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
      try{
        // Small image
        TrafficStats.setThreadStatsTag(0x0001);
        downloadURL("http://goo.gl/iGoYng");
        TrafficStats.clearThreadStatsTag();

        Thread.sleep(5000);

        // Medium image
        TrafficStats.setThreadStatsTag(0x0002);
        downloadURL("http://goo.gl/eQHDRh");
        TrafficStats.clearThreadStatsTag...
